A 100-year-old paedophile has been released from prison in the US despite fears he is still an "active threat" to children.
Theodore Sypnier was freed from jail in upstate New York and is being moved from a half-way house to a flat in Buffalo. Residents say the sex offender should spend the rest of his life behind bars, and fear he will prey on youngsters in the area.
"I want him away from society as long as possible," Erie County district attorney Frank Sedita said. "It doesn't matter to me that he's 100-years-old. He's evil. He's a paedophile. Paedophiles are the worst."
Sypnier was charged in 1999 with raping two young sisters, who were aged four and seven at the time.
The minister in charge of the half-way house said Sypnier has remained completely unrepentant of his crimes in counselling sessions. Reverend Terry King said the elderly paedophile can still walk for miles and should be kept away from children.
He added: "He has been adamant that, 'I'm 100, and I'm not gonna change'."
